The AbstractRequestHandlerAdvice uses an internal wrapper for Throwable, in a similar fashion to the TransactionInterceptor. Exceptions are unwrapped properly when exiting the invoke method so callers are unaware of the wrapping. The technique is used to avoid user errors (for example catching OOM Errors and not propagating). User code (subclasses) only catch Exceptions. However, in the case of the ExpressionEvaluatingRequestHandlerAdvice, the exception is included in any ErrorMessage sent to a failureChannel. User code should not have to navigate these internal exceptions within the cause tree. Add a method to the abstract class unwrapExceptionIfNecessary, which will unwrap the root cause exception if possible. Add a method to the abstract class unwrapThrowableIfNecessary, which will unwrap the root cause Throwable if possible. Update tests to reduce the cause() traversals to reflect the ThrowableHolderExceptions are no longer in the tree. Add a test to verify a Throwable (such as an OOM) is properly propagated. Add a test to verify that when the root cause is a Throwable (and not an Exception), the ErrorMessage sent to the failureChannel does not include the ThrowableHolderException. qualified inner class @links (when merging)
Spring Integration
Checking out and Building
To check out the project and build from source, do the following:
git clone git://github.com/SpringSource/spring-integration.git
cd spring-integration
./gradlew build
If you encounter out of memory errors during the build, increase available heap and permgen for Gradle:
GRADLE_OPTS='-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xmx1024m'
To build and install jars into your local Maven cache:
./gradlew install
To build api Javadoc (results will be in build/api):
./gradlew api
To build reference documentation (results will be in build/reference):
./gradlew reference
To build complete distribution including -dist, -docs, and -schema zip files (results will be in build/distributions)
./gradlew dist
Using Eclipse
To generate Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files), do the following:
./gradlew eclipse
Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:
File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace
Browse to the 'spring-integration' root directory. All projects should import free of errors.
Using IntelliJ IDEA
To generate IDEA metadata (.iml and .ipr files), do the following:
./gradlew idea
OSGI Notes
- Dependency on Third Party Bundles Some adapters depend on third party libraries (bundles). Spring hosts the Enterprise Bundle Repository (EBR) at https://ebr.springsource.com/repository/app/, where you can download many third-party JARs as valid OSGi bundles. If a particular bundle is not available in Spring's EBR, there are tools that can convert a regular JAR to a bundle JAR. One of them is Bundlor http://www.springsource.org/bundlor which can auto-generate an OSGi MANIFEST.MF as part of standard project lifecycle or simply convert a non-bundle JAR to a bundle JAR.
- Boot delegation Some adapters depend on extension packages that are available to the boot class loader. As a case in point, the Feed Adapter depends on com.sun.syndication.feed. Since by default OSGi only loads java.* from the boot class loader, other packages that must be loaded from the boot class loader can therefore be specified with the 'org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation' System property. For example: org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=com.sun.,org.w3c.. . . .
